Chapter 293: A Sharp Turn

"Five kilograms of mercury, five kilograms of Chuanbei, five kilograms of loquat, and five kilograms of bellflowers, divide them into six equal parts, put them on the six corners of the six-pointed star, and then engrave this rune on it, remember that there can be no errors, and the angle and direction cannot be wrong."

Pachouli instructed in detail, because she didn't come to the scene, so she could only guide, not depict it herself, but even if she came, it was still a question whether she could finish painting at one time with her mental state.

Fortunately, there is a Bajiu Temple here that can achieve precision micro-manipulation close to the mechanical level, and the process was ended at once without Kaguya making trouble.

The material used to construct it is obviously silver-white mercury, but after adding a lot of Chinese herbs, it turns dark red, and I have to say that the occult is sometimes not scientific at all, and the applicability of physical laws is greatly reduced here.

"The ingredients in here are so strange, no matter how you look at them, they are all recipes for cough drops, are you going to drink all the remaining ingredients?" Kaguya asked curiously

"Don't call me Mu Q, Mu Q! It's not that you have to use these substitutes directly depending on the hospital, compared to other ruby, emerald, sapphire, diamond, pearl, platinum powder is much easier to find, don't hurry up to thank me. And let me drink it after adding mercury, do you want me to get sick like that? ”

Pachouli complained about Kaguya's brain, although as a witch who likes alchemy, her exposure to heavy metals such as mercury is enough to kill a truckload of humans, but in the end, she is still consuming the physique of a magician, and a magician who can restrain herself from studying ideas without touching is a powerful character.

The Eight and Nine Temples closed the curtains, and the room became dim, the red magic array was not in a fixed form, and the fluidity of the mercury was greatly strengthened under the action of the central magic rune, almost as if it had come to life, moving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Now it's just a matter of throwing the scales of the dragon god in, and using the traction between the part and the whole, you can open the door to a new world!"

Patchouli waved her hand and made an impassioned gesture, but unfortunately because her voice was too weak, it looked a little cute, and the little devil on the side was heartbeating.

"Wait."

Kaguya, who was already about to throw the scales in, was interrupted, and it took a while to catch the scales that flew into the air, so dangerous, Kaguya exhaled, if the last scale was used up, it wouldn't be able to go, Kaguya couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

"What happened to Lingxian again, if it doesn't matter, I'm going to feed you medicine ♀!"

"The princess and Mr. Bajiu Temple, it's a big deal, Demon Dream, Miss Demon Dream ....... she"

"Pregnant?"

Kaguya's mouth almost made Reisen breathless, on such an important occasion, the princess should not make trouble! Especially Kaguya and Bajiuji have learned badly, this voice is completely in the timbre of Reizen, and the tone and speed of speech are also very close, just look at the stunned appearance of Patchouli in the unknown melon-eating group on the screen, this imitation can be scored nine points.

Finally calming down his state of mind, Reisen finally began to recount what had happened.

Youmu fell, and she had to be hugged by Yuyuko to get up......

It's not a fake fall.,It's not touching porcelain.,Although it's because of some natural stays.,Youmeng really falls flat when he walks.,But this time it's different.,As the heir of the soul family.,Youmeng is asking for himself at the request of the samurai during the Warring States Period.。

For the sake of Yuyuko-sama, even if it is death, she will not resist.

When serving the food, Youmeng has the attitude of committing suicide if she knocks over the dish, and she is unusually serious every time, so at this time, she will never fall to the ground.

But she fell, and unfortunately fell while carrying the fifteenth bowl of food, and the whole plate of dumplings was scattered everywhere.

"Then it's just a fall, and there won't be any big questions......."

Walking to the ward of the demon dream, Kaguya said with some disapproval, and then after seeing the appearance of the demon dream, she stopped talking, and even the eight or nine temples showed some surprised expressions.

You won't see that in the outside world!

Youmu wore an eye patch from the first time we met.,The second time I had more bandages on my hands.,I originally thought it was the same as the little umbrella that Kaguya had spoofed.,But it seems,Things aren't like this.。

Hands are disappearing.

The white bandage was scattered, and it fell off on its own without anyone helping her untie it, revealing the right hand that had been hidden by her, even if it was a perennial sword practice, it still kept the girl's smooth right hand and now it was disappearing.

Half virtual and half real, you can see the pure white sheets through Youmeng's arm, her arm is in a strange state, floating in the range of 90% to 10% transparency, the arm is close to disappearing at the most powerful time, and the bandage is also falling off at that time.

And the girl's face did not show a painful expression, but there was some uneasy serenity, calm and a little not like the living, even the half-spirit that usually floated around around was completely lying on her shoulder, without a little vitality, if you look closely, you can see some traces of patches on it.

Eighty-nine Temple stepped forward and moved the eye patch of the demon dream, and the right eye below was also in the same condition, it didn't look like a half-spirit girl from the soul family, but more like the illegitimate daughter of Ibaraki Hua Fan and One-Eyed Ji, and the short white hair that was originally clean and practiced looked like it was withering at this time.

"What's going on?"

True? Kaguya, who didn't know the truth, asked, and the object of the inquiry was Pache Li, who had the most occult knowledge here.

"The door of truth, the door of truth, did she knock on the door without alchemy at all? It's such a mess. ”

Surprised by the difference, and even with a little trilling at the end, Pache opened her half-open and half-closed eyes as if she hadn't woken up, and her amethyst eyes spoke of incredulity and disbelief.

"How did she do it, this is impossible, how can a person without any foundation open this door, even in the special place of Gensokyo, how many alchemy masters in the past have not done it, how did she do it!"

"Well, Miss Pache Li, what's the question to ask when Youmeng wakes up, and now I have to discuss a treatment plan with the princess?"

Reizen stopped Pache from being surprised in a gentle tone, after all, the patient needed to recuperate.

"No, Reisen, it can't be treated without figuring out the cause, so Ms. Patchouli asks you to explain the key information a little."

The voice of the Eight and Nine Temple made Pachou Li's brain calm down a little excitedly, frizzy but it can't be a big deal, it's better to sort it out a little and tell them everything you know.

"Do you know about alchemy?"

"Turn iron into gold?"

"This is just one of them, alchemy involves a wide range, the metal transformation in the West, the refining elixir in the East, and the smelting of the elixir of immortality that will be touched by any of the famous ones, are all within the scope of alchemy."

In other words, in a general sense, Penglai medicine can also be regarded as one of the products of alchemy, but many of the raw materials used are medicinal materials and are considered to be medicines.

"Killing iron into silver, killing silver into gold, killing metal and giving them life again, and then changing their properties, is one of the greatest branches of alchemy. But that's not all, there is one principle that true alchemy follows. ”

"Equivalent exchange?" Kaguya said that she has also watched a lot of anime, and she is also very researched about this.

"Yes, all alchemy must abide by this one law, and it is too late to elaborate on the specifics at this time, so I can only use a metaphor first. Orthodox alchemy is like making a deal with 'something', trading cheap metals for the same quality of precious metals, which requires a certain price, or mystical powers, or lives. ”

"For a long time alchemists thought that they did it themselves, but this common sense, what was considered an axiom, was broken about three thousand years ago. In the territory of the Duchy of Huttonmar, a brilliant alchemist named Norton discovered that no matter how much he improved his alchemy, as long as the raw materials must be smelted, the price he needs to pay will always be the same. ”

This discovery violates the notion that alchemy can be improved, and to put it bluntly, this discovery directly shows that the difference between the so-called alchemy master and the alchemy apprentice is only in the success rate, and as long as the smelting is successful, the results are the same.

It is simply the discovery of the development of the science of destruction alchemy.

"Finally, after some struggle, he came up with the terrible assumption that alchemy did not create matter, but knocked on a door through which an ineffable being could be traded."

In Pachuali's description, the Eight and Nine Temples sketch a scene in which a triumphant alchemist walks into the old gate with a smile on cheap metal, and behind the door stands an indescribable object, weighs the difference between the two with a scale, and then takes it from the alchemist's body.

It's ridiculous, but it's a little hairy.

"At the time, it was taken as a joke, but later more and more alchemists discovered that they seemed to be really trading with something, and the so-called alchemical essence was just a transaction with an unknown being."

"The object of the transaction is definitely not limited to metal replacement, even if you want the elixir of immortality, or even resurrect the dead life, as long as you pay enough price, and now the appearance of the demon dream is very similar to that recorded in the ancient books, making too many wishes, so that you can't afford such an expense."

The existence of such a powerful way to resurrect the dead is certainly not likely to end the transaction, and when one cannot afford to pay the price, there is something else to make up for it.

Life, its own existence.

Life is the greatest miracle in the world.

(When the demon dream first came out, we had already laid a foreshadowing, did you notice the sentence of the demon dream, who did you say was the little man?) The alchemist of the language of steel, although we haven't finished reading it (covering my face), who would dare to say that I dig a hole and don't fill it, hum)
